-Overgard is the new capital of "Eastern Sors", the former territories of house Rivan that encompasses the area bounded by the [[Castella River]], the [[Aster River]], the [[Camwood]], and what is considered [[Far-Eastern Asteria]], where the terrain becomes quite flat.  The city is located on the southern shore of Lake Rivan, on the west side of the [[Siren's Song River]].  It is a very //new// city, less than a century, and shows obvious signs it was built to be a **Symbol** of House Sorland rule, and less so a place of commerce, culture... or fun.+Overgard is the new capital of "Eastern Sors", the former territories of house Rivan in [[North-Eastern Asteria]] that encompasses the area bounded by the [[Castella River]], the [[Aster River]], the [[Camwood]], and what is considered [[Far-Eastern Asteria]], where the terrain becomes quite flat.  The city is located on the southern shore of Lake Rivan, on the west side of the [[Siren's Song River]].  It is a very //new// city, less than a century, and shows obvious signs it was built to be a **Symbol** of House Sorland rule, and less so a place of commerce, culture... or fun.
  
 ===Population=== ===Population===
 As Imperial cities go, Overgard has a higher percentage of humans than usual, better than 85%.  It __is__ on the Trade Road, so there are very rigidly defined Elven and Uruk districts, with the rest mostly being Goblin subraces.  Hobgoblin and 'taur types are almost non-existent (probably to avoid intimidating the human gentry), and the city is rather far from any Dwarf-holds to attract many of the Stone-Father's children.\\ As Imperial cities go, Overgard has a higher percentage of humans than usual, better than 85%.  It __is__ on the Trade Road, so there are very rigidly defined Elven and Uruk districts, with the rest mostly being Goblin subraces.  Hobgoblin and 'taur types are almost non-existent (probably to avoid intimidating the human gentry), and the city is rather far from any Dwarf-holds to attract many of the Stone-Father's children.\\
